What does this have to do with women pastors...?
I could have said this about 75% of the posts on this thread, the fact that it's said here about mine, after I had my words twisted and used against me is rather telling.
What's funny is I've been one of the few who've been supportive of women in the body of Christ, I made one remark about how it seems that if a guy is alone but has had his share of relationships, he seems to get alot of women rushing to help him, but if a guy has always been alone, he tends to get left that way...I don't know why that is, I was just pointing out a fact, and have now twice had my words twisted, even after explaining myself, and now am being falsely accused as well. Very sad.
You twist what I say again! Why? You must have some ulterior motive.
MUST?!
Do you wish to explain this accusation?
Wow, I'm sorry, but I really don't know where this is coming from.
This is what you said.....
--->I have been rejected many times over and probably so has every single woman on this site despite how easy you say it is for us to be in a relationship if we wanted to be.<---
A: If that's true about nearly every single woman on this site,
that totally stinks, and as I said before, I'VE BEEN ON YOUR SIDE, I don't know why I'm being treated like I'm not, and I don't know who all these bums are that are rejecting all these good women, but I think they are Morons for doing so. I just don't know who these guys are, as I said before,
I know it's not me, and most guys I know in church are pretty decent guys, so it's sad to hear these kind of rejections happenihg so frequently, and if it's coming from christian guys, that's even worse, shame on them.
Having always been alone and knowing how painful that can be, I just don't get all this rejecting of women going on. I've been rejected and left cold, I know how it feels. Guys that are doing this to good women, and christian women even, are nuts and need to have their head examined.
B: Just to clarify, my earlier statement was not
necessarily about women being in a 'relationship',
what I said was if someone didn't want to be alone.
--->And when you are fifty, men your age want thirty five years olds, not women their own age. Thirty five year olds who are blond and slim and so much more than just breathing<---
This is a rather broadbrush statement, but
again, I don't know these guys, but I'm not challenging
your statement or your experiences, that stinks.
There are appealing women of all ages, shapes, sizes,
colors even, (including purple), also gifts and talents,
so this loosely ties in to the thread as well,
and if it's God's will and love is applied,
it is probably a beautiful thing when two
people unite, but even without that, christians should not
be rejecting each other, especially over age, body shape,
and hair color, that's the world's way, not Jesus'.
But I'm sure that's why some guys like me get rejected,
....not fitting the high standards of physical acceptance.
I'm insisting on believing in love, and I'm learning that it
makes no difference how ppl are choosing to treat me, or
what they think of me at any given moment, God says love.
Awwww, come on now. I saw you trying to read this whole thread from the beginning. What percentage of the whole thread have to do with women pastors? Even when folks were talking women pastors it didn't necessarily have anything to do with women pastors.
By now, NU2 is just trying to clarify what he said a few pages ago. People got angry with him for things he didn't mean to sound like what they happened to sound like to some.
That's another thing women do that don't make for great pastors -- we have a knack for misreading people, because we're usually taking in everything personally. And then we throw it back at the guy who didn't mean it that way in the first place but hand it to him in a completely unrelated way -- like this. Another form of snookered.
Thank you, Lynn...
I realize I have a hard time explaining myself,
or maybe I get misjudged because of the way
some guys treat women or how some women
have been treated, so I'm an easy target to be
a fall guy, but it's really not fair, and when it comes
from christians, I just feel bad and shake my head,
so it's nice to be told somebody gets me, Lynn,
and I know how much you're going through right now,
so it's especially a blessing coming from you today!
Thank you so much.
(P.S. Offer still stands for you and John, of course,
and many are praying for you here. Anytime, okay?)
